The season of Lent, and the week leading up to Good Friday in particular, has inspired some of sacred music’s finest composition. This meditation through music presents a selection of the Renaissance’s most moving music for Lent by that period's finest composers. As the sun sets and the light fades, the plaintive calls of Thomas Tallis’s mesmerising motet Miserere Nostri return after each set of pieces as a litany to the life of Christ.
